What we fit in Hemel Hempstead

Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

What this work can involve

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hemel Hempstead?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Your questions about hangar and large-span doors

Can you refurbish our existing hangar doors in Hemel Hempstead?

Often, yes. If the leaves are sound, we renew wheels, guides, drives, cladding and safety devices. Where distortion or corrosion is severe, we explain why replacement may be better value.

Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Hemel Hempstead?

Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.

Which hangar door type would suit our building in Hemel Hempstead?

It depends on headroom, side space, structure and how often the door moves. Sliding doors need side space, vertical-lift fabric doors need headroom, and large sectional doors suit big but not extreme openings. We recommend after survey.
